Background: Approvals Signoff
Use the Approvals Signoff (APPV) program to approve transactions that require your approval. See Road Map for work flow.
Approval Signoff: PowerShift Workstation
Approval Signoff: Mobile Device
Approval Signoff - PowerShift Workstation
When you have approvals pending, you may access this program by clicking the Approvals button in the lower right corner of the PowerShift menu screen. The order lines, bills of material or ECOs listed require your approval. These orders have not been printed or queued.
When you click Sel and then Exit, you are signing off. If you are the last person whose signoff is required and all other lines are approved, the order prints or is added to the print queue. If you want to add a note with your approval, click on the long bar on the selection screen and then click notes. You will also be able to see notes previously entered by other approval parties.
You can check an order, item or ECO to see who is holding up approval; drills to detailed information about the order/item/ECO pending approval are provided. If you selected Allow maintenance from approvals? in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options), drills run maintenance rather than inquiry programs:
- PO Inquiry (VOI) or PO Maintenance (VOE)
- Sales Order Inquiry (OQ) or Sales Order Maintenance (OE)
- Shipment Lines Inquiry (OCIQ) or Sales Shipment Confirmation (OC)
- Single-Level BOM Inquiry (MPI) or Bill of Material Maintenance (MPS)
- ECO Inquiry (ECOQ) or ECO Maintenance (ECO)
Approval Signoff - Mobile Device
Pending approvals can be signed off from a mobile device. First, a mobile device logon must be added for the PowerShift user in Web User Maintenance (XUIM). Then, use the PowerShift Job Scheduler (JOBS) to schedule the Notification Delivery (XFNTY) to run at the desired frequency. The mobile user will be notified of pending approvals.
